-Agatha Ripp
its been some time

i dont usually think much abt the shows that i watched but this one particularly disturbs me. nip/tuck, drama of mature themes and graphics. sure its rather known. anyhow, this eps deals with religion and hypocrisy, which though not uncommon, stills touch moi a great deal.

Agatha Ripp's a prostitute who've seen the light (now aint that familiar?) and is currently under the shelter of this church. what makes her real special is the perforations on her wrists which are exact replicas of those on Jesus's when he was crucified. of cos the doctors, Shawn and Christian, thought she's a fraud. which was confirm later on in the show. what struck me as highly inappropriate is the way they manipulate religion to suite their selfish needs. the nun herself nail those holes in agatha's wrists and later on at her foot. its just not right!

i mean, its bad enough that in reality we have idiots like the al-qaedah who claim to be doing God's work in killing thousands of ppl. admit am not a very religious devout. but its just..wrong. sacrilegous. feel that faith in religion is being cartoonized. to be exploited when and where it suits our need. i dont like to see religions of any kind to be treated like this. a bit too much, i feel.

of cos now reality is very skewered, so...sigh..nvm, on to other news.

i had dinner with shafi's family last fri. not by choice, seriously. final verdict: oooookkkkkkla..i'm alive at least. one thing's unbelievable. ask me what i was wearing: low slung hipster jeans and white cropped baby t. how..'appropriate' ya? like i said, it wasnt my idea. 5 min warning cos "its shafi's bdae and i think its a good idea for you to join us" and thats it. abducted. kidnapped. seriously, wouldnt have made a great deal of it if not for what i was decked in. i have my jacket of cos (was at ITE for admin earlier in the day), but it got tomyam-ie cos someone dropped a prawn on it. the story of my life..

went cycling a few days ago. tried an off-road trail. doesnt sound so bad ya? it rained two hours before we went. i've never been dustier and muddier since i got back from obs. it wasnt that bad tho, got to see lotsa colorful soil which i couldnt inspect cos SOMEBODY was going too fast for me to catch up. i am however happy to report there is no visible injuries this time. and i could still walk around..which is a great achievement!

salutations to everyone else *waves*

make me beautiful..a perfect smile..perfect body..a perfect life..
